Baazigar:
Although Shah Rukh Khan made his first appearance in Deewana, the movie which announced his arrival in the industry was Baazigar. A crisp edge of the seat thriller, which saw Shah Rukh Khan in a negative role is one of the most iconic characters portrayed by the superstar in his entire career. Be it the screenplay, music or SRK’s performance, everything is recalled by the audience even today. The film was successful at the Box-Office with approximate collections of Rs 7.75 crore.
Darr:
After Baazigar, Shah Rukh Khan cemented his place in the industry with yet another powerful performance in Yash Chopra’s Darr. Although Sunny Deol, a much bigger star at that point of time, was the male lead, it was Shah Rukh Khan who walked away with the audience sympathy and credit for the film. Darr is in-fact a textbook in acting for the young actors in the industry to portray a negative role. The movie was a super-hit at the Box-Office and raked in Rs 10.75 crore.
Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa:
After a string of negative roles, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa saw Shah Rukh Khan in a romantic avatar and tried to establish him as the boy next door. The film, till date, is one of the finest coming of age romantic film in Bollywood and in my opinion the best romantic film starring Shah Rukh Khan in lead. The movie, though not a huge hit, did find enough appreciation to be termed a success. It raked in approximately Rs 4 crore at the Box-Office.
Karan Arjun:
The film, which marked the teaming up of Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan for the first time was a humongous hit at the box office as it raked in approximately 33 crores in India. Karan Arjun was a quintessential Hindi film with a reincarnation angle and served the audience with everything that the like i.e. action, romance, drama and music. Karan Arjun was among the first films that gave a glimpse into the intense side of Shah Rukh Khan.
Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge:
One of the longest-running films in the history of Indian Cinema, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, has obtained the status of being one of the most iconic romantic films of Bollywood. The film, which starred Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in lead, became the second biggest grosser of all time after Hum Aapke Hai Kaun upon its release and redefined the romantic comedy genre in the industry. The movie enjoys a cult status today, and is a must watch for all the lovers of Indian cinema.
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai:
After getting accepted as a lover boy in films like DDLJ and DTPH, Shah Rukh Khan was a college student in Karan Johar’s directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. The film, which was a different take on love, was accepted by audience across the country and is Karan Johar’s biggest hit till date, in terms of return on investment. The superstar looked believable as a college student and even better as a father on the big screen.
Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham:
The big multi-starrer saw Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan and Kajol in lead. Without second thoughts, the movie was a humongous success at the Box-Office. In terms of content, it was a family drama, a genre which Indian audience loves to watch. The film had the right dose of comedy, romance and emotions, which struck chord with the audience. Shah Rukh Khan as Rahul stood tall in the ensemble film.
